I have caught hundreds in my day but the coloration on this one is unique. I have never seen white on any gopher, ever, not even in photos. Anyway, this one was in my lawn and is about 9 inches/17cm long. About average for the local gophers. He was so odd looking that I showed my wife and children. Upon seeing his uniqueness, they forbade me to kill it and I was forced to release into the wild down the road. No doubt his kin will move in in a few years and take his place.
